The Georgia Straight proudly sponsors Gwaii Haanas Speaker Series at the Bill Reid Gallery
On March 19 and 26, the Bill Reid Gallery of Northwest Coast Art is hosting the Gwaii Haanas Speaker Series.
On March 19, 2 pm, David Dixon shares personal stories from his 11-year career working in Gwaii Haanas as a Haida Gwaii Watchman.
On March 26, 2 pm, the gallery hosts a discussion of the troupe of Haida elders who made a stand against clearcutting on Athlii Gwaii (Lyell Island) in 1985, which caused the government to establish the Gwaii Haanas Park Reserve/Haida Heritage Site in 1987.
Admission to both talks is included with gallery admission or membership.
